Chapter 289: The Chaebol Family IU Personally Experienced (Part 2)
"Boom"
Stamping his cane hard, Li Zaixian exploded: "When you founded Sunward Capital, I was already taking the initiative to show you my kindness. I thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what I did to you to make you so cruel to me.
"
"Is it because we have been cultivating Shanhao as the heir? The Li family has always had a rule that the eldest son inherits. You can't blame me for this."
"Although I haven't put too much thought into you, have I ever treated you wrong since you were a child?"
"When you came back from studying abroad, you said you wanted to go to CJ Entertainment. Did I stop you?"
"It was your own choice to take up the post of president of the TVN Broadcasting Bureau. Did I force you?"
"Now that Sunward Capital is established, if you don't let CJ Group get involved, okay, I can accept it. If you don't let CJ Group get involved in such a big move by Sunward Capital Charitable Foundation, are you a member of my Li family?"
"Why can't I, Lee Jae-hyun, get involved when Lee Fuzhen is involved? Have you forgotten how Lee Kun-hee treated me?"
The more he talked about it, the more excited he became. He stood up from the sofa and stared at Li Chenghao, with the veins on his neck exposed: "He asked the prosecutor's office to file a lawsuit against me. I was sentenced to 4 years in prison and fined 26 billion for corruption, tax evasion, and malfeasance."
H Yuan, if your uncle Sun Jingzhi hadn’t protected me, I would still be in prison today.”
"Don't bring the grievances of the previous generation to the next generation? Did Li Fuzhen tell you this? Bullshit, the evidence of my crime was collected by Li Zaiyong. Li Fuzhen is not a good person. You are good, accept Li Fuzhen
, you are really my good son."
Li Chenghao also stood up from the sofa, but he did not say anything to Li Zaixian. Instead, he turned to the woman: "I'm sorry, mom, I will contact you alone another day. Today, Zhien and I were rude and left first. Mom, you must pay attention.
In good health"
iu is innocent
He was led by Li Chenghao and left the villa before he could realize what happened.
She only knew that Li Zaixian had been angry with Li Chenghao. Before leaving, Li Chenghao said to Li Zaixian: "Why do you ask your eldest son Li Shanhao yourself?" Is this a chaebol family?
Speeding all the way, Li Chenghao ran through three red lights and finally stopped on the side of the road in front of the bus stop.
He gritted his teeth and patted the steering wheel hard, took a deep breath and turned to look at iu: "I'm sorry, you were scared."
iu was really frightened, but not because of Lee Jae-hyun's anger in the villa just now, but because after Lee Sung-ho came out, he drove his car swerving left and right on the street like he was crazy.
Patting Li Chenghao's back gently: "Is it okay? If I had known I would have learned to drive seriously. If I could drive, you could just lie down in the passenger seat and have a good rest. You must be very tired."
Holding iu's hand, Li Chenghao felt much calmer: "I'm telling you, this is my home."
"What a joke, every family has unspeakable secrets, I understand you."
He took the initiative to take out the cigarette case from Li Chenghao's pocket, took one out and put it to Li Chenghao's mouth, then took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Li Chenghao: "It might be better to have a cigarette."
Putting down the car window, Li Chenghao smoked heavily.
After finishing the cigarette in less than a minute, he threw away the butt and looked at iu: "Did you light the cigarette for me just now?"
"kindness"
"Don't you like me smoking in the car?"
"No, I never said that."
Li Chenghao has a good memory: "Remember that time we were in the Han River Park parking lot? You stopped me in the car when I smoked."
"Remember, that time you kicked me out of the car in the end, then left me alone in the parking lot and drove away, right?"
"Ah, it's been so long and you still remember this?"
"Haha, I remember other things, but I won't talk about them today. I'm very hungry now. Let's go buy groceries and go home for dinner."
The words "go home for dinner" sounded a bit ironic to Li Chenghao, but he knew that IU was trying to comfort him now. When he said home, he also meant going back to Itaewon. The use of the title "we" was a hint to Itaewon.
The courtyard apartment is her and her home.
"I'll drink with you tonight"
"Are you okay tomorrow?"
"I have nothing to do today. I will rest at home tomorrow and we will go on a date the day after tomorrow."
"Suddenly?"
iu pouted: "Forget it if you haven't prepared anything for New Year's Eve. February 14th is the day after tomorrow. You don't know what day it is?"
Before iu said it, Li Chenghao really didn't pay attention to the date, and Valentine's Day is a very ordinary day for him. In the past few years, he spent it in the club with Cui Chenggen and the others. This year is indeed different.
, there is one more person around.
"Of course I know, the gift has been prepared a long time ago."
"Really? Can I expect that?"
"Okay, but what shall we have for dinner tonight?"
Iu didn't realize that Li Chenghao was changing the topic, and even said with a smile that he would take Li Chenghao to experience the changes in Itaewon market. As for what to eat at night, buy whatever is available in the market, and the focus is on drinking.
The two appeared in the market together. Li Chenghao instantly felt the enthusiasm of the merchants. After walking a short distance, he received fried chicken, blood sausage, and fried rice cakes from the merchants. Li Chenghao quickly pulled Iu and left the market.
Itaewon Apartment
There is no shortage of soju, foreign wine, and beer.
Sitting on the carpet in the living room, eating fried chicken and drinking wine, Li Chenghao also told iu some things that he had never mentioned to anyone before.
"Actually, my mother used to be a wealthy woman. She has never complained about life in the more than 20 years since she married into the Li family."
"Lee Sun-ho did a lot of things to me when I was a child, but Chairman Lee Jae-hyun didn't know about it. My mother once asked me after seeing the scars on my arms. Although I didn't tell her, my mother guessed a little bit later."
"I never understood my mother, why she didn't tell Chairman Lee Jae-hyun this, and why she paid more attention to Lee Sun-ho at home."
"After I graduated from college and joined CJ Entertainment, I slowly began to understand her. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but maybe she did but was scolded by Chairman Lee Jae-hyun."
"Don't you think it's incredible? After all, my mother is also a rich man, so why is she so humble at home?"
Iu nodded, she didn't interrupt, and she really didn't understand why Li Chenghao's mother had no say in the family even though she was a rich man.
"Marriage also depends on the strength of the family. Chairman Lee Jae-hyun owned the CJ Group. Although my mother's family was a food company at the time, its strength was not as good as the CJ Group."
"Originally, in their minds, daughters are not as good as sons. If a married daughter cannot get more benefits for her husband's family, she can even just pretend that this person does not exist."
"That's how my mother came here, but her life is actually better than what she is living now. At least President Lee Jae-hyun won't show off his face when he sees his mother."
"In 2014, President Lee Jae-hyun was sued by the prosecutor's office. My mother's family did not contribute to this incident. From this time on, President Lee Jae-hyun became even more ignorant of my mother. In fact, my mother is a very pitiful woman, at least for me now.
I think so."
After saying so much in one breath, Li Chenghao felt relieved. He looked at Iu hugging his knees next to him: "It's scary, a chaebol family that others envy."
